NATALIE'S SUMMER SKINCARE PICKS

As the weather begins to heat up and the sun gets stronger, it’s time to start thinking about preparing your skincare routine for summer by swapping out rich moisturizers and strong acids for lightweight, nourishing serums and antioxidant-rich formulas.

In my newest YouTube video, I walk you through my weekly summer skincare routine and you might be surprised by how simple it is! While many of the products in my routine are suitable for all skin types, keep reading to learn more about my favourite products for every skin concern.

Cleansers

My go-to for…oily and acne-prone skin.

Biologique Recherche

This cleanser saved my skin when it was very acneic. It regulates sebum without stripping the skin of hydration and lipids.
It acts as a magnet for surface oils and debris, removing only what it needs to and leaving skin perfectly balanced and mattified.

Sold out

My go-to for… dehydrated skin

Biologique Recherche

One of my year-round favourites!
This cleanser brightens, hydrates and removes makeup with absolute ease.

Sold out

My go-to for… feeling good!

Sapelo

Sometimes I just really fancy a gel cleanser when I’m hot and bothered, my pores are large, and I want a sensorial experience.
Sapelo’s cleanser is beautifully refreshing and produces a luxurious lather that whisks away oil and debris.

Sold out

My go-to for… oily tendency skins.

Ayuna

For a quick and detoxifying cleanse, this charcoal-infused soap mattifies oily skin to perfection.

Sold out

Lotions

My go-to for...pores

Biologique Recherche

Lotion P50W is the gentler formulation of Biologique Recherche’s cult classic exfoliating toner. It will leave feeling soft, smooth, clear, and uniform.

Sold out

My go-to for… an acid-free solution for pores

Ayuna

During the summer, I’m not a huge fan of using exfoliating acids on a daily basis, so during the sunnier months,
I love this alternative. The Facial High contains microbiota technology and succinic acid to tighten and clear my pores,
regulate sebum and balance my skin— all at the same time!

Sold out

Masks

My go-to for…sensitive skin

Ayuna

When my skin is a little irritated or affected by heat or cold,
I love to use this satisfyingly creamy mask to calm, soothe, hydrate and even my skin tone.

Sold out

My go-to for… oily skin

Auteur

When my skin is secreting a little bit too much oil, but I also want some anti-wrinkly action (who wouldn’t?!),
I find myself reaching for this skin-tightening mattifier.

Sold out

My go-to for… acne-prone skin

Biologique Recherche

I would recommend this mask to anyone with inflamed, infected active acne.
This super mattifier uses non-irritating bentonite clay to whisk away oil and prevent further clogging and acne from occurring.

Sold out

My go-to for…light physical exfoliation and nourishment

Ayuna

One of my absolute favourites! Apply and rub it off!
This mask removes my flaky skin with its dual action of both physical and chemical exfoliants
but leaves my skin dreamily plump and juicy with a light veil of the quintessential Ayuna oil.

Sold out

Serums

My go-to for…plump, juicy skin

Ayuna

A pure essential in my armour, especially in the summer, when it replaces my daily moisturizer.
This silky serum contains cellular nectar, which increases vitamin D levels in the skin. It is gorgeously plumping, hydrating, brightening
and pore-tightening— who doesn’t want that?

Sold out

My go-to for… active acne

Biologique Recherche

Feeling a spot popping up? Apply this serum at night! It contains an intense concentration of salicylic acid that stops acne before it starts.
Catch your spot early enough, and after three nights, it’s like it never was! Fantastic!

Sold out

My go-to for…oily and very oily skin

Biologique Recherche

If you’re prone to breakouts and you want to regulate your skin’s sebum levels, this serum is stinky but effective.
You might have to pinch your nose— and your partner’s— but you’ll have clear skin in return.

Sold out

My go-to for…sensitive-friendly hydration

Sapelo

This light serum layers beautifully over or under anything. It contains some seriously collagen-boosting and hydrating ingredients,
and it leaves my skin supple and plump without using any irritating or photo-sensitising ingredients, which I LOVE.

Sold out

Creams

My go-to for…a lightweight anti-ageing cream

Auteur

When I feel like my face could do with a little somethin’, somethin’, I reach for this light and fast-absorbing crema.
The ingredients and packaging are highly technical, but using it is a dream.
Two words: SYN-AKE (like no-needly Botox) and Triple FLow Perfluorocarbon (super-charged healthy and bright skin). Okay, four words. Yass!

Sold out

My go-to for… acne-prone skin

Biologique Recherche

If you suffer from angry, active and inflamed acne, this cream is an absolute must.
Now, this is a treatment cream, so it’s formulated to only be used for a period of a few months,
and I would recommend you apply it only in the evening as it is seriously purging.
Wake up, rinse off, and repeat until your skin starts doing what you want it to do.

Sold out

My go-to for…men

Biologique Recherche

Men LOVE this stuff! It’s a gel…it tightens and lifts…I
t hydrates…It doesn’t mess with their facial hair…and it works!

Sold out

My go-to for…balanced skin

Ayuna

A super light cream that is also a unique sensorial experience. Some of its many benefits include brightening, minimizing redness, epigenetic factors,
as well as reverse-ageing peptidic fractions…the list goes on! Amazing cream— I absolutely love it!

Sold out

SPFS

My go-to for…oily skin

Ayuna

Finally! An SPF that doesn’t clog my pores or give me that afternoon oil sheen. It also has a delicious tint to it.
A little tip: warm it up with your fingers first, and it will glide on like a perfecting veil of protection.

Sold out

Eyes

My go-to for…a silky, light texture

Sapelo

I’m not a huge user of eyecare products, but this stuff— especially if I haven’t slept well— juices up my under-eye area without a goopy feeling.
It provides silky hydration, brightening and anti-ageing benefits, and it’s comforting, pure and simple.

Sold out

Accessories

My go-to for…minimising inflammation and redness

Biologique Recherche

A super multi-faceted tool. Perfect for when you want to minimise redness, shrink pores, and tighten your skin.
You can also use these icy cold sticks over top of masks to increase their efficacy. I love to use them in the summer when I feel a little puffier than usual.
Pluck them from the fridge and caress your skin with these refreshing, heavenly sticks.

Sold out

Body

My go-to for…après-soleil

Biologique Recherche

A staunch summer product of mine for years! Spritz on this milky, lightweight serum after a day in the sun.
Not only will it hydrate and plump up your skin, but it will also leave you shining like a Greek goddess. This product can also help to prolong your tan— an absolute must for sun worshippers!

Sold out

My go-to for…banishing cellulite

Biologique Recherche

With the summer almost here, I’m thinking about showing a lot more skin— and how that makes me feel!
Apply a slightly thick layer of cream and massage it in with the ball side of the Body Glove. If it doesn’t hurt a little,
you’re not pressing hard enough…break down that cellulite! It’s a little painful, but no pain, no gain!
